the cause is not a filled area on the die. But a post on the mint mark that broke off that would have formed the cent of the mint mark. Thought you might enjoy what it really is.

I never knew that was the actual cause.that makes sense.But it's still called a filled MM (isn't it) and we now know the cause
Thanks coop for the heads up

If the die were filled, then devices would be missing. With the post missing, the mint mark isn't fully struck, just a chip begins to form in that area.
